While we were getting ready, Mallory was concerned because I wasn't putting on my swim suit. I told her she was going to swim school and would be swimming with a teacher.

I wasn't sure how she would do (you know, she is kind of a Mommy's girl :o), but when her teacher said, "Mallory Moore"...she looked at me; then, walked right to her. It was so cute watching her walk away with her teacher...she looked so BIG!! I was so proud of her, and she did a GREAT JOB!!!

Mallory is happy that Kayden is taking swim lessons with her...

Looking for her teacher...

The teacher politely told us we would have to leave the pool area and no pictures were allowed until the last day. Well, being the "Momarazzi" that we are, we snuck photos from the other side of the fence...

Going to the BIG pool...

Swimming sure makes you hungry...

After our snack, we went to the library to return some books and check out some new ones...

We went to Burger's Lake with the MOORE family. Wesley and I hadn't been there since middle school, so we were curious to see what it would be like now. It was BETTER than ever since Mallory was with us...

Granddad has been talking about us all going to Burger's Lake for a couple of years. I am glad we finally did!

Gotta LOVE Mimi's cover-up...

Most of the time, Mallory is not afraid to try anything...

Get READY Daddy!

Good catch Daddy!

Here's Daddy reliving his youth...

Mallory is usually the first one at the table and the last to leave...she LOVES her some food!

Mallory LOVES being with her cousin, Paige. They always have a great time together...

After the train ride, we went to the Botanical Gardens to have a picnic...

After we found the perfect, shady spot by the pond, the girls dug into the picnic basket...

We were so amazed how close the squirrels would get to us...

After our yummy picnic, we walked around and let the girls play. This gave us the chance to take lots of CUTE pictures...

Anytime, Mallory sees a curb or ledge, she walks on it like a balance beam. It is so cute how she sticks her arms out and walks so carefully. She is getting ready for her gymnastics class which starts in a couple of weeks...

Girls just want to have fun, but it sure is getting hot!!

Mallory was VERY interested when she saw Kayden get a drink out of the water fountain, because this was something she had not done before...so, she watched Kayden carfeully and had to try it out for herself...

Mallory and Mommy...

Kayden and Mrs. Erin

We had fun at the Botanical Gardens, but we all got REALLY hot. So, we decided to get a snow cone or ICE cone as Mallory calls them...

Mallory is serious about her ice cones...

Of course Mallory was done before everyone else, because she don't play :o) But, her buddy, Kayden, was there to share...

Erin likes to take pictures as much as I do...so, you can imagine when we are together it is like a photo shoot. We have nicknamed ourselves the "MOMARAZZI" Check us out...

Trying to Get Back in the Swing of Things...

Before our wonderful twins arrived, I was pretty good about posting regularly. Since the Moore household has been pretty busy, I have slacked on our family blog. I am going to try to get back into the swing of things and post updated pictures and info as well as go back and post some of the wonderful memories we have made since Mia and Madison joined our family...
